Habitat for Humanity of Lee and Hendry Counties concluded season of Women Build, raising a record $534,000 to support Habitat’s home-building efforts for female-led households. Women Build is an annual initiative to engage women in the effort to provide safe and decent homes for families in need of affordable housing. During the 2024 season, 180 volunteers contributed 1,216 hours on 16 different homes for female-led families. A portion of funds raised during this year’s Women Build will cover the construction costs of a new affordable home for a local mom, her two young children and fully disabled mother.
